BrOkEn ArRoW_29 Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 My computer never freezes until I run Steam. Whenever I open it to play CS or something, I can play for about 20-30 minutes and then my computer totally freezes. I hate this because I don't have the fastest machine around so it takes me forever to restart and I just want to play CS for longer periods of time. I am running it through Xfire and even if I don't it still freezes. This problem has only occurred within the past month or so. Any help is great. Thanks.

Gryph Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Clean your video card fan and stuff to make sure it's not overheating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 time for the speedfan treatment. Find, download and install Speedfan. It will display the temp of your cpu etc. Tell us what it says. If your cpu rises above 60 deg C, you may have a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrOkEn ArRoW_29 Posted August 6, 2005 Author Share Posted August 6, 2005 (edited) It's all over the place sometimes low, sometime extremely high. Edited August 6, 2005 by BrOkEn ArRoW_29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryph Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 How about telling us the actual temperature? Low and extremely high is subjective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agozer Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Right now it's actually 48 deg. C48 is still ok. If it was 58 then I'd be a little worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrOkEn ArRoW_29 Posted August 7, 2005 Author Share Posted August 7, 2005 So how does this contribute to the freezing of my PC only when Steam runs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
